Endorsements

"These collections of brief biographies show women contributing to doctrinal and intellectual questions, assuming prodigious responsibilities in relief for refugees, and taking stands of conscience against tyrannical rulers. These studies thus assume importance in reconstructing a non-sexist history of the Reformation."
 Sixteenth Century Journal

"Roland Bainton knows how to tell a story, and his very voice seems to sing through these stories of women of the Reformation.... [This] is a book to be enjoyed  an effective, affective account of Reformation episodes with women at the center."
 The Christian Century

"With copious citation from original sources, these vivid sketches reveal the character of courageous women and their influence, often amidst political and social intrigue, upon the course of the Protestant Reformation. The volume is amply illustrated from contemporary portraits and woodcuts."
 The Reformed Theological Review

Sunday, June 7 — The Holy Trinity 1st Sunday after Pentecost

Genesis 1:1--2:4a

Psalm 8

2 Corinthians 13:11-13

Matthew 28:16-20

Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.
